Call of Duty: Ghosts Bans

A thread on the Call
of Duty forums and
another on Reddit are indications that Activision has been
actively banning cheaters from Call of Duty: Ghosts for violating the
Code of
Conduct for playing the military shooter sequel online.
MP1st reports that these seem to be centered on PS3/PS4 players, noting
Activision responds that “bans are put in place after an account has been
investigated into. Any code of conduct violations WILL result in a ban. The user
is responsible for all actions taken on the account." They add that "All bans
are final and will not be reversed. Nor do we provide any additional information
or specifics in regards to the ban," inspiring
a petition requesting that Activision make its banning policies more
transparent. In spite of all that, a
more recent forum
thread says that some users are having their bans lifted, kicking off with
this comment: "It seems as if someone has been listening to us because I just
checked my account on COD Ghosts and my permanent ban and console ban has been
lifted and everything is back to how it was before the ban. It feels good to
know that somebody paid attention and that my innocence has been proven. I hope
you innocent people out there have also been cleared."
